What time Friday morning?
I have a possible conflict at 11 a.m. If we're planning to be done by then, then for sure I'm in. If we're not, then I'm about 50/50.

Well, that depends on how early everyone would want to start. I'd be willing to start at 8. |

As would I. But again, I'm not a sure thing, so I don't want to determine policy for everyone else--certainly not when we're talking that early!

Sorry, if it's that early then I'm going to back out. There's no possible way, as a night owl who won't sleep at all on Thursday because of a 6AM flight, that I'll be awake at 8AM on Friday. :) |

Sounds good to me... Y'all will just have to put up with me not being quite awake yet, else feed me coffee until I do so, lol.
Ashe, if I do make my own character, how do you want it put together? I really can't say for sure I can get to one yet, but I'll let you know in a day or two whether I can, or at least give you a hint of what I might like to play. :) |
Ack! I seem to have too much blood in my coffee stream!

| Well Kuje, since you and Kes are the main proponents for the game (as much as I'd like to adjust the game to whatever schedule Erik [or Steven or ED] could attend), how early can you start? We could try and fit it in before a late lunch, fit it in after an early lunch or start at a time that we could break for lunch... |

Hmm... I'd recommend trying to stay basic. No real 'out there' classes or races, since the more 'unique' you get, the longer it would take to convert. |

Late morning to afternoon is fantastic. :) But if ya'll have plans, I do understand. So, anywhere from 10ish till all day is good if it's on Friday. |

Aye, I'd planned on staying real basic. :) Just didn't know how you wanted base abilities done, if prestige classes were allowed, and how you handle magic items. :) Looking right now at either an axe wielding dwarf, or half elven ranger. That might change, lol. *shrug* Also wondering if this takes place in Faerun (and year), or Golarian (which I know nothing about)? Also.... just where is this going to take place, lol. (Meaning where are we meeting in Indy.) Oh, and starting gold..... Sorry, I ask a ton of questions when I generate characters.... |

Re: Character creation, I'll trust you with 4d6 rolls. Prestige classes are allowed, but shoot me a PM or email with details so I can approve. Character level 15. Use the "Starting Gold for PCs above 1st Level" table in the DMG to figure out gear (200,000 gp, try not to blow it on one item). Also, if you're taking any 'unique' items from Magic Item Compendium, send me a PM/Email for those as well.
The adventure will take place in Faerūn, specifically in Candlekeep proper. It's 1375 DR, sometime after Anauroch and before Shadowrealm. |

@Matt's game: well, I can't quite decide what exactly I'm going to play, but I've settled on a role: striker. I'm currently thinking about a rogue, but I might go with warlock instead. We'll see what materializes there.
@Garen Thal: I think that means you should go with a leader, yo! And if BRJ is doing a divine, CR a primal, that might predispose you to arcane (bard) or martial (warlord). If one of those is more appealing than the other, let me know--it might influence my choice as well.
@Ashe's game: Assuming we're done at least by Spin a Yarn (2 p.m.), I *might* be able to make it. Will check back in over the next couple days.

In that case, I've no choice but to go with the gnome bard. Forgotten no more, and Optimized, Too!

Thanks a bunch. :) I'll get something figured out in the next day or two and shoot you a PM. I don't have the Magic Item Compendium so that's not a worry. I didn't know if you were doing wealth levels out of the DMG, or Pathfinder which is why I asked. :) I was also wondering how you do regional feats? Some DM's give them as bonus and others you have to take it as your 1st level feat. I also know nothing about the Anauroch adventure, so I don't know if that will put me at a disadvantage. |

Hey Ashe,
I'm thinking probably either a rogue or one of the arcane classes. I.E sorc, or wizzie. But really leaning towards the rogue. Race, not sure yet. :)
Question though: Are you using the FR modifiers for races or the generic pathfinder modifiers in the beta book? Edit: Also, how do you want HP's rolled/figured? |

Use the generic Pathfinder modifiers (if there any changes from Beta, they will be handled at the table). Since I want to make these easier to generate, go with Max HP at every level (So if your class has 6 HD, 15th level would give 90 + modifiers).
I'm going to lock down the time from 10:30 to 1:30. I figure gather around 10:30 to go over any rules questions and such you may have with the actual adventure starting when questions have been answered and an empty table has been found (so the adventure probably starts at 11). Breaking at 1:30 to give people a chance to grab some food and stuff before heading over to 'Spin-A-Yarn' (but I won't have a problem if you bring your lunch to the table to eat while we're playing... You might need to share with me though.  ).
Okay, let's try and get a roll call of those interested:
1. Kes
2. Kuje
3.
4.
5.
6. |

Hmm... Okay, I'll keep my schedule free to run this on Friday around 10:30/11:00, but if Kes & Kuje are the only ones looking to play, I'm probably not going to run it. If we can get four people, I'll definitely set it up.
This doesn't mean I won't have the adventure written up and bring it to the Con with me, but if it's just the two of you, I'd feel kinda silly.
So, if we get a couple more people involved, it's a definite go. If not, bring your characters anyway and we'll meet up and see if we can grab some floating gamers to sit down with us. Heck, if we don't play, we can kidnap ask Erik (and others) to just get some lunch! |

@Ashe: The main trouble is that myself and a group of my friends are in a True Dungeon run at 11 a.m. on Friday, to which until yesterday, I wasn't sure if I'd make the cut. (Limited tickets, unlimited players!)
But it looks like I'm going along.
Even if you don't get the game set, you might consider bringing it all along and just doing a pickup when you get the chance. I'm sure you can find people on-site who would be interested.
@Matt and co: I put together an eladrin rogue I think will do pretty well. Assuming I can count on our defender for support.
What's our fifth player looking to run?
Cheers |

Oooh, you just wait, buddy. Even the original 5th level version of Talek Snowspear exuded such awesomeness that the DM felt moved to award him with an 18th level magic item based on just a sketch of his backstory. Wait 'til I send y'all the full version along with his character sheet.

No problem Erik! I know the siren's call that is the True Dungeon (my friends and I are going in at noon on Thursday).
I'm definitely bringing it along. "Just in Case" |
